At the Max conference in early November, Adobe stated that it would launch an online multimedia creation service that only needs to be used through a browser, and soon this month, the service called "Creative Cloud Express" was officially launched. Launched, users can use Creative Cloud Express to edit still images and even simple video clips through a browser or mobile phone/tablet without installing software. Chen Ba also took a little time to quickly experience it. The following is an introduction to the main interface of Creative Cloud Express.

After entering the main page of Creative Cloud Express, BAS70SV can be roughly divided into two services: one is a project form that can process complete and newly created media materials, and the other is a project that only requires quick editing of existing materials. Quick action function.

After clicking the "+" symbol in the upper left corner, you can see what Creative Cloud Express can do.

Chen Ba also tried the function of video editing. Video editing on Creative Cloud Express is mainly provided through the Spark Video function, and can be synchronized with Premiere Rush to provide a simple linear editing function, but because of the use of Spark Video, Currently only supports .mp4, .mov and .m4v container format files encoded by H.264 video codec and MP3 or AAC audio codec.

The video editing interface of Creative Cloud Express adopts a block-based clip editing method, and the left side is the application template of the screen. Currently, there are four types of full screen, split screen, bottom annotation and title screen. Users can also directly edit a single video clip.

The editing block of the video can perform simple settings such as zooming, editing, and volume adjustment for the video, but it may be due to the consideration of online computing resources, which does not allow users to make adjustments with a high degree of freedom.
